Quack
This one struck close to home, given that it involved kidnapping a fake animal. Those of you who know me might have heard the tale of " Pete the Penguin". You might have even seen the pictures that were taken.This story involves a different "Pete". Pete the duck. You see, Pete the duck is the mascot for a residence hall at CW Post College on Long Island, NY. It seems that five "Resident Assistants" decided it would be funny to kidnap Pete & make a video of it. The video , titled " A Duck Napping" was on youtube for a short time before it was removed. The five RA's put on ski masks for the video, & were speaking in broken English using a stereotypical "Middle Eastern " accent. The short film depicted a scene similar to one where Americans being held hostage by Al Qaeda terrorists force their hostages to plead for their life. The demands that were made for the ducks release in this film? The hostage takers wanted donuts & pastry's. Due to this video, all five of the RA's were fired from their jobs.
I must say that I'm sorry I missed seeing this video. I'm sure it was one of the funniest ones on Youtube , although I can understand why certain people might be upset by it. My question is this...
To the folks who support the students being fired, & to the staff at CW Post. Did the school fire the advisers for their insensitivity to the victims of jihadism ... or to its practitioners?
Just a question.....
BTW, for the few who have asked what Hawk actually looks like, well,, heres a bad picture I took the other day in the office.

a stupid statement comming from a liberal moron.people need to be more sensitive to others in the world.we can not make fun of other cultures without any regard to their feelings. you need to grow up hawk.
Hi Jim,
Thanks for taking the time to comment on my writing. I appreciate your thoughts, even if you didn't use any of the few brain cells that you have left after sniffing that glue.
Jim, I gotta ask. Are you suggesting that we need to be tolerant of the practitioners of this reprehensible behavior? { the behavior being the kidnapping of innocent people}. Because , thats what these students were making fun of dude.Perhaps if you would take your head out of your ass for a minute & stop trying to be so politically correct, you might start to see the world for what its actually about. Until that time, feel free to stop by again & comment. I enjoy a good verbal spar. I just hope that you will learn to pick a tad better battle.
Hawk
